The Storyteller
From Wooden Crates to Building Dreams
Born in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, Claudia's journey of creativity began early. As an only child, she spent her days playing "architect" in her parents' garage, using wooden crates to build imaginary offices where she would write and draw characters.
Moving to the United States at age seven brought new challenges and adventures. Books became her refuge and her teachers. Today, after a successful career in business, Claudia returned to her roots to create the Ellie Fairy series—stories designed to help children navigate the world with courage and kindness.
Stories Planned
Mission
"All who read any of the Ellie Fairy books should finish the story and have a feeling of joy."
The Mission
Every Ellie Fairy story is built around a single belief: that children deserve tales that leave them feeling brave, kind, and full of joy. Claudia writes the books she wished she'd had as a young reader finding her way in a new country.
